          Not just you FWIW. Mine load as they are on photo bucket (Giles side). All the others were somehow re-written to use the Cloudfront CDN, but the image does not exist on the CDN..

            I would pick my 21 oz 526J Type III jacket: it's so versatile and looks amazing over anything. Simply the best denim jacket (no offence to the Lefty Trucker fans out there :)). My runner-up would be a 666XHS, I even wore them in summer (!!!) but sadly I outgrew mine some time ago (I'm sure I'll get a 25 oz replacement in the future). Third placed is the 33 indigo. An amazing and classic piece. I like IH most for its incredible denim so no surprise the top three is dominated by it.

              My first piece of iron Heart. It's been everywhere with me and I've even spent a week snowboarding in it in The Alps last year.

              IHxRH666s and IH-526L tie for second.
              The jeans are just perfect for me and I bloody love Rivet & Hide.
              The jacket I got the day before my son was born and fits so, so well. It was a grumpy bastard for a long time though.

                  Very hard to pick one. But one of the things I've come to appreciate about my gear is the way that items that turned out less than perfect initially, become loved with use and the passage of time. My 666XHS fall into that category. My first experience with the 666 cut , I was still something of a noob with fitting IH bottoms and all sorts of issues popped up.

                  I had them hemmed too long, mistakenly thinking stacks worked with everything. When I realised my error I couldn't bring myself to send them off for a "a trim". The openings of the jeans are now shredded as a result of cuffing, stacking, dragging on the floor.

                  The cut itself isn't the best for me either. But at the time it was the best bet for me to get into the 25oz. So I lived with a funky fit and just enjoyed the fight with the denim, (and it was quite a fight). The first signs of blow out came after about 50 days wear (squat thighs, and deadlift butt did their damage) and these became the first jeans I fixed myself.

                  Now, after about 120 days actual wear since I got them in November 2016, they seem a little softer every time I put them on, a little bit more worn and a little bit more "mine". They have come to represent the epitome of Iron Heart stubbornness for me and I adore them.

                  I can't not mention vests here, so I'm also going to give honourable mention to my IHV-09. An extremely classy bit of kit. Form, function and fabric in perfect harmony.

                  And last of all for a shirt, I'm going with my 68-IND. My first experience with IH wabash ([emoji170]), my first work shirt, and a shirt I work in. Brilliant.

                    I would say my very first pair of 634s. I had lost a lot of weight and decided to buy a nice pair of jeans, when I got them I had some reservations but Giles spoke to me about how the jeans would eventually sit naturally and look better. They sat in the closet for a bit and the first of the year I decided to break them in properly. I think in  two months since I have worn them everyday but two… when they were washed and drying. They are so damn comfortable. Other than that I would say my 99 will be right up there. Ive always liked black shirts and the fit just worked for me and I can see it becoming a frequent wear item.

                    Ohhhhhh that constitutional stitching!

                          Bottoms: Even though I wear my 633s 90% of the time, my all time favorite pair is my DC4001. It was my first real foray into high end denim and that feeling is hard to replicate. Plus, they are probably the most detailed pair of IH bottoms out there: Half lined pockets, an embroidered tab, selvedge belt loop, off centered back loop, extra large leather tag, duck lined pockets, etc. An epic pair!

                          Shirting: IHSH-22 & IHSH-26bk: My first two IH shirts and I really dont NEED anything else. The 22 is amazingly soft, layers well, and still looks brand new after 6 years. The 26bk is my go to summer shirt and has been been washed at least 60 times. I was worried about durability given how light it is, but year after year it only gets better. Plus, I love the backed buttons, chain stitched pockets, and neon green runoff. I need to find another someday or convince G&H to dip one of the USN chambrays [emoji6]

                          Jackets: IHJ-08 -light, warm, and tough as nails.

                          Hardware: IH mid cordovan wallet. My wife gave it to me for our 10 year anniversary and I wouldnt trade it for anything!

                            As for me, it's a really tough choice. My XHS have a special spot as my first, plus that masochistic bonding ritual we endure. My 666N have easily been worn most. My 16 is my go to shirt. I'm currently in awe of the 526L.

                            So yeah, I think whatever I'm currently wearing is the safest answer

                              Really great thread,really tough call,but the IH item that totally blew my mind more than any other is IHSH-161. The corduroy totally surpassed any expectations of what I thought that fabric could feel like. My 555-01s are my go to/favorite jeans. I love a white pie with sausage and mushrooms.
